Humera of each elytron coarsely punctate with one large bump, other parts finely punctate; each elytron with three transverse fasciae from yellow setation; humeral, median and posterior yellow, transverse fasciae not associated on the sutura ( Fig. 2 View Figs ). Epipleuron unicolorous, brown, with short yellow setation.
Mesosternum short and broad with longitudinal groove; metasternum on disc finely punctate, laterally coarsely punctate, covered by recumbent yellow setation. Metepisternum coarsely punctate covered by recumbent yellow setation.
